A homa fire burns in a brick fire pit whose yellow-painted bricks are dusted with white powder and scattered with red flower petals. Flames rise high from the wood, with a small red flower and sticks placed on the top brick. To the right sits a brass vessel with a spouted lid, and a conch shell lies nearby on a striped cloth. Beyond the pit, the edge of an orange-robed figure is partly visible.
